SM3DLand is basically Super Mario Bros 1 in three dimensions, something NSMBWii should've been! I'll be excited as heck to play this game, if only for Tanooki and (possible) the Feather, and if I ever do get it I know I won't put it down! Here's to 3+ full playthroughs, 99 lives and all!

I literally freaked out when I saw the Tanooki suit. *Takes a moment to calm down*

Also, I never heard of the Zelda stage. Can anyone give me a link to a video or article that confirms this?

The Official Nintendo Magazine has mentioned it. Though if I remember correctly the stage was confirmed during E3 at the roundtable?

One more game I cannot wait for, really, loving that Tanooki suit. Everything so far has been pretty promising.

This game looks really fun to play. It looks like it has multiple elements of Mario games: the levels are like that of the 2D Marios, but some levels look more open to run around in like the 3D Marios. I think I read somewhere that it does mix a bunch of elements, so that'll be interesting.
Looking at the trailers, it looks like it makes a really good use of the 3D, both for depth and level design.

The level structures are that of the 2D Marios: incredibly linear. But, they are in three dimensions so puzzles will take longer to solve and the time limit is extra stressed :D

I am really excited for thins game, especially after seeing that raccoon tail in the very first few pics back in the early Summer. I love the tanooki suit although it will be a little strange not being able to fly with it anymore. At least it still has the same Jizo transformation ability it had in Mario 3. I hope it lasts a little bit longer than the Mario 3 version though. A couple seconds was not quite enough for most situations.

Now I only wonder just what kind of upgrade the tail will give Bowser in this game. I think I have missed a lot of leaked info on this game so far, mostly since I have been keeping to Zelda related news lately. I causes me to miss out on a few other things sometimes. It sort of reminds me of fighting Wario in the very old Super Mario Land 2 on original Gameboy. He used the same powerups as Mario including the flight and fire flower. If Bowser can steal a few of them from Mario that would make for a more interesting, and challenging, fight.

I can only hope for more of the hammer bros suit, since that definitely was the best of the best in SMB3. As well as the most rare powerup in the game. It was fun actually being able to kill thwomps and boos for once.

Oh? Is that...the Boomerang Bros?! I can just imagine SM3DLand with two player local co-op, gauntleting through impossibly long stages, using the Boomerang suit! This game will be glorious!
